Chords for The Del - Lords Poem Of The River 1988

[F#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _
[A] But as the storm [E] rolling in from [F#m] out of the east
Man, [D]
I hear the bank [E] ain't no place to [F#m] be
_ But I'm [A] sitting right [E] here, so let it [F#m] rain
Cause [D] this river is all [E] that [F#m] remains
[D] Of the love I'll never [E] know [F#m] again
[D] But know one day it's [E] gonna call [A] your name
_ So [F#m] I'm [Bm] glistening deep [E] down on the [A] river
[E] _ [F#m] Watching [Bm] the ghosts on [E] the shore
_ [F#m] Beach beds [Bm] and bathing [E] carriages
Through the mists [A] of teenage [E] [F#m] matches
Washing to [B] the path [E]
forevermore
_ [A] The river washes [E] to [F#m] the sea
_ _ [D] Takes the love [E] sickness [F#m] away
For [A] the first time [E] staring through the [F#m] icy black _
[D] And those [E] afternoons it kept [F#m] coming back _ _
[D] Sometimes I'd [E] hear the river [F#m] lay
_ [D] Then one [E] day it's all my [A] life will have
_ [F#m] So I'm [B] glistening deep [E] down on [A] the [E] river
[F#m] Watching [Bm] the ghosts [E] on the shore
A [F#m] picture [Bm] frame with broken glass
I [E] wonder [A] who's baby was [E] it at last
[F#m] Washing to the [B] path [E] _ forevermore
And the river [D] sings such a sad [E] song
_ About [A] a guy on top of [D] the world but it's so [E] long gone
And the river [D] tells such a funny [E] rhyme
About [A] a fool who returns to [D] this spot time [E] after time
[D] Who wasted [E] away waiting for [A] a sign
Yeah, [D] _ [E] yeah
[A] Oh baby, baby, baby, [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] baby, baby
[D] _
[E] Oh _ [F#m] _ _ baby, [D] _
[E] yeah
_ [A] I followed her trail and it [E] led me [F#] here
At [D] the river her [Am] tracks just [Bm] [F#] disappeared
But [A] I realized [E] I may never [F#m] know
Where [D] she [E] went and [F#] why she'd go
[F#m] _ [D] But I'm waiting, [E] waiting, going [F#] down slow
[F#m] And [D] the rain has soaked me [E] to [A] the bone
_ [F#m] So I'm glistening [B] deep down [E] on the [A] river
[E] [F#m] Watching the [B] ghosts on [E] the shore
_ _ [F#m] And people you care [Bm] with pots and knives
There's [E] nothing to stay with [A] in our little [E] lives
[F#m] The past is waiting [Bm] just outside [E] my door
_ So [F#m] I'm [B] glistening deep [E] down on the [A] river
_ [F#m] Watching [Bm] the ghosts on [E] the shore
_ _ [F#m] I'm listening [Bm] to [E] the poem of the river
[F#m] Watching [Bm] the ghosts [E] on the shore
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _
